Fabulous, but all cold-growers, so won't do well here.
From Jay Pfahl's orchidspecies.com website:
"There are 24 species in this little known dwarf terrestrial genus occuirng in The Himalayas, Japan and China characterized by having tuberous roots, a few basal to cauline leaves and a more or less loosely flowered inflorescence with the sepals and petals free, yet the petals are partially enveloped by the dorsal sepal to form a hood, the 3 lobed, midlobe prominently provided with a relatively short spur lip which is the largest floral segment, a very short column with large parellel approximate anther sacs which basally are not produced into distinct canals. There are 2 pollina with short caudicles with the glandss enclosed in small separate bursicula. There is a single, sessile stigma which is V shaped, a process like staminode and they are adnate to the sides of the lip."
